Akvaplan Niva

Akvaplan-niva scientists are engaged in cross-disciplinary research programs on water related issues. On our ships, Ferry Boxes are installed to sample sea and lake water to provide continuous information about oxygen levels, temperature, salinity and other data.

Our ships are also equipped with Kongsberg Multibeam sonar which allows us to map the lake/seabed.

IAATO & AECO

Viking holds a provisional membership with the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO) and Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO). We work closely with these leading organizations to ensure we employ best travel practices, promote awareness, support scientific research, and protect the fragile ecosystems and environments in which we travel.

NOAA/GLERL

NOAA GLERL conducts innovative research on the dynamic environments and ecosystems of the Great Lakes and coastal regions to provide information for resource use and management decisions that lead to safe and sustainable ecosystems, ecosystem services, and human communities. Our ships have been designated weather stations, from which we launch weather balloons.

The Cornell Lab of Ornithology

We have also partnered with the globally recognized Cornell Lab of Ornithology, whose ornithologists will regularly be on board, field testing new observation methods and providing guest advice and interaction.

The Polar Citizen Science Collective

The Polar Citizen Science Collective creates opportunities for research and public education through citizen science, leveraging the reach of polar travelers to enhance understanding and protection of the polar regions.

University of Cambridge / Scott Polar Research Institute

Viking is a proud partner of the University of Cambridge’s Scott Polar Research Institute, whose scientists undertake fieldwork on board our expedition ships and share their expertise with our guests. 

Announced in April 2022, the Viking Polar Marine Geoscience Fund will endow the Institute with its first-ever fully funded professorship—the Viking Chair of Polar Marine Geoscience—established to enhance the scientific leadership at the Institute and enable the development of new lines of research into the behavior of polar environments.
